My Epic Steam Adventure: Episode 10 - Age of Steam Roundhouse

[@KnapfordMaster98]

1187 my beloved. So happy to see it in such good shape :)

[@ggreg2258]

I have visited the Age of Steam Roundhouse and grounds several times since it opened. Absolutely amazing. An absolute MUST for lovers of steam and railroading!!

[@RobertBOUSKILL]

Wow, I was there a few weeks ago and never got the experience you show.

Awesome video! #33 used to run by my house when operated by the hocking valley scenic railway. Should check out the western maryland #1309 also. It's one that I would like to see some day.

[@ehadder]

We tried. Stopped at WM on the way between Cass and Reading. 1309 was down for repairs, and I think it is still 18 months later. But I did get to see it in the shop, and also the 734.

Despite the wait we had to do for this video, I'm glad it's finally out. If I ever find myself in Ohio, I will surely visit this place. And cause its home to my favorite steam engine and third fav Northern but also having big rolls in a book I've been working on that should be out before the years end.

This is great. Good explanations and it’s good to see a young fellow with extraordinary knowledge of locomotives and trains.

There are at least 2 WW2 2-8-0’s in UK. Perhaps one in Western Europe.

And of course... it's amazing that Frisco 1522's Auxiliary Water Tender did end up there, and still maintaining the same purpose it did before. ^^

would GTW 6325 Be restored and there's B&LE 643.

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

I'd love to see both CP 1278 and 1293 restored to operation. They're both sisters (they're both G-5d class locomotives) and have some very cool fun facts about them. 1278 suffered a partial boiler explosion (unfortunately), and 1293 was used in the 1980 film Terror Train. In fact, I sometimes refer to 1293 as the Terror Train.

[@wilhelm_iron2359]

Unfortunately it is highly unlikely 1278 will ever be returned to operation

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

@@wilhelm_iron2359 They have analyzed 1278, and it actually won't take much to get her running again, but the roundhouse currently doesn't have any plans of restoring 1278 to operation.

[@wilhelm_iron2359]

@@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore Correct. It's not the mechanics that are preventing it from being restored

Thats neat to see 2630 one from fort eutis made its appearance in the vedio so to answer your question where is fort eutis its in newport news va not far from yorktown va. Ive always wondered where it went to after it left cass.

[@bigboy-tk8vq]

cp 1278 was in the movie funny girl

[@jimmyhook4852]

Just wondering Eric Hadder: Did you by any chance saw Felix the Roundhouse Cat during your visit to the Age of Steam Roundhouse?

[@ehadder]

I can’t recall.

[@jimmyhook4852]

@@ehadder Huh. Just making sure though. ^^'

Consider setting up PPP as a way to get outside funds. It’s used in Class 2/3 to attract investment. 6323 and 763 would look awesome.😊
